Pink Lemonade Growth

[zoomonster]

I was very close to buying a frag at RAP but someone there told me most colonies are dying of the pink lemonade. I wish I would of bought a frag, I love the look.

Haven't heard that one. Stormborn Reef (Debary) has a good sized colony they bought off a tank tear down and I think it was an original Jason Fox. Not sure if they are fragging it yet or not. Mine actually came from Battlecorals.

This particular vendor didn't have a frag of pink lemonade, so he might of told me that to buy one of his that's similar.:(

I thought the original was a Tyree piece, actually pretty sure it is. Mine came from BC as well.

Yep think your right. Thought it was JF but its Tyree.

I purchased a pink lemonade at RAP :) polyps are starting to come out a lot more than when i first put in my tank.

I'll have to be strategic in where i place this guy.... I have a red planet 1 inch frag that encrusted about 3 square inches BUT now it is shooting up very fast like someone else mentioned u can see growth almost daily

I regret not buying a frag. I will get one next time I'm at my LFS.

Here is mine. Slowly plugging along.

I think lighting and flow are the reasons that the coral will encrust and/or shoot branches.

Here's mine. Had it for about two months. It has just colored up a little, polyps got a little longer, the base has got a little thicker but no real growth.

Now seeing some vertical growth! Yea.

Nice. Did you end up reducing the flow at all?

My pink lemonade has been encrusting for the last 8 months, but it sure has colored up nice:)

Nope. For the sake of the rest of the tank, and overall nutrient export, I couldn't really do that. I attribute the growth to time.

I have been fragging and discarding an adjacent bird nest colony, slowly but surely, and expect that flow near the colony may have likewise been affected.
